For ten years, although practi-1

and rrernbiing. j
The South never had a more
vindictive enemy than Senator I

given with a giant's strength. He
is now dead, but no man can fail
to render to him the tribute of

Dear iSilt.— Owing to the nu
merous questions,which are being
daily asked in regard to "sugar
piospects"; and the great anxie
ty which exists among Planters :
l concluded to pen you a few
lines iu oidei to give some infer
motion concerning onr section «.»:• j
ixie country. j
We made a start Monday last, !
grinding a tew acres of ordinary '
stubble cane, from whicli we tea- j
I'zexi a yield of one hogshead,
aud a quarter per acre.
I see no reasoD, why planters
who laid their crops by early in
the summer should not make an
"average crop." Our Manager Mr.
F. VV. Seymour by his preat ener
gy 1 and sturbborn perseverance sue
ceeded in flnishing work in our
croj) early in the smnnmr season.
A large ridge thrown to tiie cane
proved with us a preventative of
serious damage by the storm,
Mr. Tassitn's coal kettles have
proved a perfect success on Ariel.
Yours truly,
Presley K. Ewing.

Head the following notice of "Punolo," writ
ten by !>r. If.SHcitlon Markerzie, l. *era
nt Ed<tor of Forney's Dai y Press,
who read the work in manuscript
"Panola," a Tale of Louisiana, is from
the pen of Mrs. Entail A. Dorsey, a talented
and highly educated lady, previously dis
tinguished in biography ami romance. The
sto'-y is very peculiar, and strikingly ori
ginal, iu its phi'iusopuv, io imavulq.Jit.y of
character*, and tlm successive steps 'in'the
narrative by which the action culminates
in a very striking and most unexpected,
though highly satisfactory c .m uisinn. Lite
in the south western part of X ottisiuna is
' represented, with a brilliancy of de.-erip
! tion which, indeed, is Yvord-panning of the
! most artistical order. The dialogue really
; advances the action, (which dialogue too
| often fails to do,] anu in the few letters that
are introduced, t lie th-ani" 's person or res
pectively give their views of society. Al
; though Panola, a bright and lovelv elii'd
( of genius who is a tnunrai musician, is the
j principal heroine—a ver.u.hle pi inut dtpntia
; m more ways than nm—there is a rival,
i scarcely less beautiful if ■ mm what exeel
( lent. There are two ' ivors. ro laaiytiiia the
j halauce,—J»ut the host of these has unfor
i tituatelv lo-t the use of his limbs—like tue
( young King of the Black Islands, of the
Arabian tale, who was half man aud half
marble. Under such circumstances, this
gentleman would scarcely hav. his name
written, by a fa. hioimble mother, on tlie
list of "eligible" candidates lor her fair
daughter's hand! Nevertheless, he does
contrive to marry the "lady of his love," to
tiie, jierfect satisfaction of both tliough the
preliminary miracle which enabled this to
la: done is to lie found only in tbe closing
chapters of the story. Panola has Cherokee
tdoo.l in her veins, and. some of her race
prove, in this story, that they indeed are
"Children of tbe Sun with whom Revenge
is virtue." The book tbonnjs ; u interest—
innniagQ, divorce, a great musician's debut
and triumph, the alternations of serious
and conflicting passions,—death by poison,
and, the already liiuted punishment of the
criminal. Two very interesting characters
are an old French Doctor of medicine and a
German naturalist. As the "universal dol
lur" manages t a work itself into every thing
below, we may bint that a trifle ot over
three millions is a bequest in the very first
chapter- 'Panol.Y wiR be published in a
